Miguel Cairo is joining the Reds' front office.

Cairo will operate as a special assistant to GM Walt Jocketty. The veteran infielder had hoped to continue his playing career this season but struggled to attract any interest after batting just .187/.212/.280 in 2012. Cairo collected 1,044 hits during his 17-year MLB career. Thu, Feb 14, 2013 01:49:00 PM

Miguel Cairo delivered a clutch RBI single that would stand as the winning run in the Reds' 2-1 victory over the Giants on Saturday in San Francisco.

Cairo finished the day 1-for-2 after entering in the fifth inning for Joey Votto. The veteran infielder is hitting just .140 with four RBI on the year and doesn't merit consideration in even the deepest of fantasy formats. Still, it was a very nice afternoon. Sat, Jun 30, 2012 07:13:00 PM

Reds activated INF Miguel Cairo from the 15-day disabled list.

Cairo went 0-for-10 during his recent rehab assignment, but his hamstring is back to full health. The 38-year-old infielder is 1-for-9 (.111) in four games with the Reds this season. Mon, May 7, 2012 04:11:00 PM

Miguel Cairo (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday at Low-A Dayton.

Scooter Gennett missed Friday's spring game against the Brewers with a sore right shoulder but expects to be back soon.

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports Gennett's injury is not serious despite missing the last two games. Gennett himself said "It's not worth an MRI, I will be back in there, pain free" in a couple of days. The former Brewer will serve as the starting second baseman for the Reds this season after hitting .295 with 27 home runs and 97 RBI in just 461 at-bats last year.

An MRI has revealed that Anthony DeSclafani is dealing with a strained oblique.

DeSclafani felt the discomfort during his start Friday, which helps explain why his velocity was down. The Reds aren't offering a timetable for a return, but this is something that figures to send him to the disabled list in all likelihood. It's a bummer for the Reds and for DeSclafani, who was limited to just three rehab starts last season due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament. He also began the 2016 season on the DL with an oblique strain.

The Friday session was roughly 15 pitches, Price said. "If all goes well, we can anticipate sliding him into a game," Price said Saturday. Opening Day is less than two weeks away, making it hard to envision Finnegan being ready for a starting role as he recovers from the biceps strain sustained earlier in camp, but he could be close behind. The Reds have a number of pitchers vying for starting spots, including Cody Reed, Tyler Mahle, Sal Romano and Amir Garrett, in Finnegan's anticipated absence.
